EM1603J " Rheumatology in the Omics’ Era" (IM GR-032516)

This lecture will cover recent advances in the use of genomic approaches, especially gene expression profiling, to better understand the pathogenesis of rheumatic diseases. With a focus on Juvenile Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Dr. Pascual will discuss how these approaches led to:

the discovery of therapeutic targets and biomarkers to treat and/or follow patients in the clinic;

the uncovering of the molecular heterogeneity that underlies these diseases and represents the basis for personalized treatments.
